"I wanted to share a secret with all of you. Right from childhood,I always wanted to become an artist, I have played a lot of cricket so I decided it's time for me now to take up what I wanted so I have made a few paintings," MS Dhoni said in a video while displaying three of his paintings. The first painting was simple, a landscape drawing while the second one was much more complex according to MSD who described it as "something which can become a mode of transport in the future".
MSD described the third painting as his favourite one which he explained was him, batting in a Chennai Super Kings' jersey in the Indian Premier League(IPL).
As soon as this video was posted, within minutes it became viral and #WhyDhoniWhy started trending on Twitter. It is believed that World Cup 2019 played in England will be MS Dhoni's parting shot in international cricket. The 2011 Indian World Cup winning captain will be traveling with the Blues under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, who will look to lead his team to glory at the tournament.
Team India will start their WC campaign against South Africa on June 5 at the Rose Bowl in Southampton and Virat Kohli has already identified MS Dhoni as a vital cog in the Indian set-up. It is to be seen if Dhoni can paint England blue with his all-rounder skills before formally taking up his first love after retirement.
